Chapter 1273 The Start Of The Battle
"Aren\'t they making it too obvious?" Tang Shaoyang muttered. Despite having the number advantage, the World Government and their two backings, The Divine Church and The Federation of Allurion did not attack the Tang Empire. The enemy was obviously waiting for something, and that something might be their God Ranks\' arrival on Earth.
Their estimation before the God Rank\'s arrival was one week, meaning he had a week to reach the Demi-God Rank. That was the reason why he wanted to attack the enemy with just a small team. He wanted to hog the level for himself to reach The Demi-God Rank.
"They think we can\'t do anything even if we know their plan. They are not wrong." Moonsong responded in a helpless tone. No matter how strong the Beast Coven was, they could not win against the enemy in front of them. Not if they threw their defensive advantage. If The Beast Coven took the initiative to attack the World Government, they would be swarmed to the death.
Even though Moonsong was stronger than the average of the enemy\'s Legend Ranks, he could not win against dozens of them at the same time. If they abandoned Lisbon and went to fortify their main base, the World Government would gather all their armies in one territory which was India, closest to their main territories, and they might attack if that was what happened. That was another reason why they defended Lisbon, to split the enemy\'s force.
"You should get going. You and Marshal Alton will lead the attack to India once they start sending reinforcements here," Tang Shaoyang glanced at his team, making sure they were ready for the attack.
"I will be leaving that to Marshal Alton, Your Majesty," Moonsong smiled, "Don\'t you need a group to guard the portal for your return?" Chief Moon spoke confidently as if Tang Shaoyang would win and return alive in the battle against millions of armies with just less than ten people.
"Then I will leave it to you," Tang Shaoyang nodded at Moonsong and motioned toward Chang Jie to come over. He then tapped the young man\'s shoulder and used a skill, Spirit Fusion. It was similar to Spirit Integration, but he used it on someone else. A Grade S+ Spirit, Feera the Legendary Beast Inferkost.
Chang Jie was confused about what happened to him, but he sensed something entering his body. He could feel a presence inside him which weirded him. What terrified him was that the bestial features started to appear on his body. The scale started to grow on his skin and a pair of horns on his forehead.
"There\'s no need to be afraid. It\'s one of my skills. I integrate a spirit into your body to make it more powerful. You can check your status window," Tang Shaoyang assured the young man as soon as he noticed Chang Jie started panicking.
He did the same to the others; Zaneos, Zowen, Areth, Kairu, Wen, and Pride. Pride and Kairu refused at first, but Tang Shaoyang threatened to send them back to the main base if they did not listen to his order. Only then the Flaming Lion and the Demonic Ape accept Spirit Fusion.
"Always stay close to me if you don\'t want to die," Those words were not just for Chang Jie, but the others as well, "If you fail to follow my order even once, I will send you back to the main base."
Chang Jie nodded his head furiously, holding the sword in his hand tightly. His palms were sweating a lot as he got even more nervous ever since he saw how many the enemy was. He proudly said that he would fight and die for the Tang Empire like Uncle Gan Shuo to Duan Ya. However, the fear got into him right now.
"Are you ready, Chang Jie?" The young man nodded his head as his hand visibly shook, "You must be nervous, but don\'t let it get into your head or else you will die silly on the battlefield."
Chang Jie took a deep and long breath before releasing it in one go, nodding his head, "I am ready."
Bwoosh!
His ears were buzzed off, making it hard to listen to anything. A few seconds ago, he was on top of a wall, and now he was in the sky. The natural reaction would be screaming, but he was frozen still as his chest heaved up and down.
"Open your eyes and look! This is a battlefield, and this is a life-and-death battle. Don\'t show mercy, or you will lose your life! Even if they surrender, you kill them! We don\'t take prisoners in the war against the Divine Church and the Federation of Allurion!" The words awoke Chang Jie from his shock and fear. He opened his eyes wide, looking at the armies below him while they were falling in the air.
Chang Jie then noticed a massive golden palm come from above and struck down the barrier. With a single strike of the palm, the barrier cracked. And there was more than one golden palm, seven consecutive golden palms hit the barrier. In the second strike, the barrier cracked even further, and in the third strike, the barrier crumbled. The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh palms hit the armies and flattened the armies. He saw the palm imprint on the ground with a pool of blood. Whoever got hit by the golden palm, died.
Nine Heavenly Gate: Fourth Gate - Heaven Shattering Palm.

"What was that?" Zowen exclaimed as the massive palm hit the armies. As Tang Shaoyang\'s former spirit, one of the longest ones with Tang Shaoyang, she never saw the golden palm. It was a new skill for sure, "I thought breaking the barrier would be the toughest part." She muttered at the end.
The three beasts did not say anything as they jumped off the wall. Pride and Kairu jumped off from the thirty-meter wall while Wen flew to chase after Tang Shaoyang. The battle started.

Tang Shaoyang and Chang Jie landed in the middle of the palm mark, and Chang Jie almost threw up. The crushed meat and intestine along with the white bone nauseated him. He could not look away with the thing right on his feet. This experience would be imprinted in his mind forever.
"First lesson in the battle, never get distracted. Focus on your enemy, your only enemy that is still alive, not the dead one, or you will follow the people you killed into the afterlife if there\'s any." Tang Shaoyang caught the accelerating arrow with his bare hands and flicked Chang Jie\'s forehead hard.
"Urrrghhh!" Chang Jie exclaimed in pain, but he endured the pain and focused on his surroundings. He finally heard the cries and screams of the soldiers. He was too focused on the crushed bodies below him, so he could not hear anything until now.
"We are under attack!" "Draw your weapon!" "Kill the intruder!" Various kinds of yells rang in the air as the armies scrambled in panic. The golden palm caught them off guard, and they started panicking.
"First order, only fight the people that go through my attack. Don\'t try to be smart and rush into the middle of the enemy. Unless you are me! If you understand, use Spirit Transformation.
"Yes," Chang Jie wasted no time, activating his new bloodline transformation. The green scale overtook the scale from the Spirit Fusion. The horn grew on his forehead, a pair of wings grew on his back, and a tail came out of his back. This was the second time Chang Jie used the Bloodline Transformation, and it was much better than the first time he used it back in the main base.
"Shoot the arrows!" The yell rang in the air as thousands of arrows, coated in mana rained them down from above.
Chang Jie tensed up even more as he looked above nervously. He did not know what to do. If he moved, he would run into the swarm of angry soldiers. If he did not move, the arrows would get him. His head was blank because he panicked.
Tang Shaoyang went into his stance, and he flapped with the back side of his hand. The gush of Heavenly Energy changed the direction, and the arrows ended up hitting the soldiers to his right. He took two steps back and flicked Chang Jie\'s forehead even harder, "You are much worse than I thought. If not for me, you would have died twice already. Follow me closely, and we will start to push them down. Only fight the one that is close to you."
After giving the instruction, Tang Shaoyang raised his right leg. He then stomped to the ground, causing the ground to shake and split open. Dozens of soldiers fell into the pit, and the pit closed up, crushing whoever fell into the pit.
"Follow me closely, Chang Jie."
Tang Shaoyang took a big stride and quickly arrived at the first defensive line where the weakest armies were positioned. He sent the punch to one of the soldier\'s heads, the unlucky one. The head popped out and the body immediately fell to the ground helplessly. That was not the first one to fall as the second, third, and fourth followed.
Chang Jie could not follow the punch\'s movement. What he saw was four soldiers\' heads exploding in a single punch. That was the combination between The Heavenly Crushing Strike and Way of Destruction. The class increased his attack power whether it was a magic attack or physical attack.
